Your Recommendation for the “Best” Design Option

The overall result of the “best” design option is proposal 3, which is the circular structure.

The reasons can be concluded by the following principles:

1. Since the site is in the Newyork city where lots of tall buildings are present, the sun light energy of the side facing the buildings will be minimized. As a result from the comparison, the circular form can minimize the area shaded by the tall buildings and itself.
2. The daylight potential analysis has indicated that the proposal 3 has a great daylight potential, and only a few sites should consider about the daylight problem, which is a good news for us who want to minimize the artificial light usage and be more sustainable.
3. For aesthetic consideration, the circular form can enable much more design insights of the exhibition, serving citizens with more pleasure.
